I need to do penance, because I am GLAD Joe Biden will not be allowed to receive communion. I am ashamed of myself. [I Was Raised Catholic]

30 Bishops of the Catholic church are now working on a document that will clarify what it means to be Catholic.

Those public figures who openly endorse abortion are in violation of the teachings of the Catholic church, and the Catholic Church will eventually have that right out there in writing with the support of 30 Catholic Bishops.

Unless and until these public figures STOP endorsing abortion, it is the HEIGHT of hypocrisy for them to continue receiving communion as though they were part of the body of Christ.

Joe Biden, when asked about this, refuses to comment...says, "That's personal." Noooo, Joe...

It's personal to everyday Catholics, IMO. But if the President of the United States is MODELING support of abortion to the entire world, is it personal any longer? That's the whole POINT, Joe. This is NOT a personal issue for public figures.

And that goes double and triple for Nancy Pelosi who drools on about her "heart of love" and how [i]HOLY[/i] she is. NOT.

Jesus, in the New Testament, was upset about the hypocrisy of the Pharisees...so I think it's not without precedent to be upset at the massive hypocrisy of our highest public figures.

The Vatican has instructed the American bishops to [b]not[/b] deny communion to liberal politicians, to avoid giving the impression that the church only cares about abortion and not other issues. For example, the church is also concerned about poverty, wealth inequality, and the environment, which are liberal issues.

@Lila15 The church is only as good as its leaders...and some of them are better than others.

If, however, you follow the dogma of the church to its obvious conclusion, as these 30 Bishops are doing, the priests who give the holy host to liberal politicians are defiling the holy host, which represents the body of Jesus Christ, by giving it to unconfessed sinners, who should be abstaining from commmunion till their beliefs are the same as those of the church.

@Lila15 also known as the apostate church. It has completely lost track of what it was commanded to do by God.

@Baremine While there is life, there is hope. I happen to agree with you. They have lost something very, very important...one grain of sand at a time.
